Autodesk releases Maya LT 2017 Update 3

Autodesk has released Maya LT 2017 Update 3, the latest update to its cut-down version of Maya aimed at indie game artists, overhauling the UV Editor, updating Viewport 2.0, and adding a new Bake Deformer tool.

Updated UV Editor, new in-viewport edge sewing tool
The update “completely overhauls” Maya LT’s UV Editor to provide a “more modern workflow”, introducing a new UV Toolkit UI element to the side of the editor window, which provides access to common tools.

As well as the changes to the editor itself, there is a new 3D Cut and Sew tool, which enables users to cut or sew UV edges directly on geometry in the scene view.
